I agree that he should be punished for aiding and abetting an illegal. But personaly, I would help a person I came into contact if they really needed help, and also call the authorities. (Like getting the stray cat out of the cold and giving it some water on the way to the shelter).

Back to sneaking into Switzerland - would I get a free rifle?!

Actually - it brings up an interesting point. Not to excuse the illegals, but how far would you go to provide for your family in the wake of a corrupt and insane country like Mexico is today? Perhaps America at some point in time. Not to the point of gaming the system or robbing folks - but how about poaching a deer or fishing out of season to feed your family?

Or heck- the Soviet Union or East Germany of days past. Although I’m not sure it was illegal to be in West Germany - just illegal to leave East Germany?

Agree with Sten. The most humane thing we could do is build a fence and enforce our borders. (Not sure about the shooting anybody with 1/4 mile.) If the stray cats don’t have the dish of food set out for them across the steet, perhaps they would take it upon themselves to change things at home.

Good point.

Every one would.

Mexico today is more advanced than it has ever been.

I may be wrong, but he is in trouble for littering
